cfm slsmvm Q, 737,09 his ROGERS PLATT CHURCHILL Jest and youthful jollityf' Rogers is our class jester. He not only has spent hours searchs ing for jokes for the Vindex and Year Book but he also has origi- nated some. His wit and humor help to make him a model toast- master and entertainer. He likes to argue and in this he is par- ticularly successful. We envy Rogers because he seems to have his name on the honor roll with practically no efforts whatever. Rogers has helped the class and the school enormously and his support has been appreciated by all. SENIOR RECEPTION Coiiwrifrrnn Sigmwn BoIxRD .VINDEX BERIN ICE I. CLARK 'Tis a leasant world to live in- indeed a verv J 7 . pleasant world. This is what Bernice thinks and we know that the world is pleasanter because she is in it. Everything seems to 1'un smooth- ly for her and petty cares and worries seein to avoid her for they know that she would not tolerate them. WVe predict that Bernice will be very successful on the concert stage for we have heard her sing. We Wish you the best of luck and hope that you will not forget us entirely while in Boston. VIXLENTINE PARTY COMMITTEE Sigmmr BOARD HELEN JULIA CLARK A practical joker whom few escape. Helen is one of the many girls who goes to school to pass away the time. Just look in room 4, fourth period, and you can see Helen, laughing and talking and making things lively all around. Helen intends to be a stenographer and we wish her all possible success. 'WILLIAM R. COMPTON Does nothing in particular and does it well. A good thing in a small package. Bill, here, is a good sport at all times, incidentally he is a good student although he has not yet attained the honorable degree of shark, Knowing Bill as we do, we feel certain that success was born with him and is bound to attend him always. GEORGE COXE A new acquaintance is as refreshing as an April showerf, George is one of our new classmates and for that reason We know very little scandal about him. During the short time that he has been with us he has formed a vast circle of friends. There is one fact that we can prove and that is, that George is an expert at banjo playing. We do not k1l0W what George intends to do after he graduates but we are certain that he will be successful in whatever he attempts.

,YE It sf ' 7' 3 yg ,QP rjfysef HELEN LOUISE HOOPER H There is nothing like the wish to scatter joy around us. Every time that you speak to Helen she will greet you with a smile. To hear her talk, one would think that she never eXpe1'-- ieuced ditliculties or trouble of any kind. If you wish to have her become interested in something, start to plan a party. Helen is very fond of them, especially when there are to be lots of eats. We can 'hardly blame the girl for we admit that we like such things ourselves. IDA S. HORDES 'iKnoWledge is the wing wherewith we iiy to heaven. It seems to us that Ida must believe this motto, for she lives up to it. She is more fortunate than the rest of us mortals, for she finished in January. While here she took up business sub-jects and was very conscientious in her work. We hear now that she is using her knowledge to advantage in business and We are sure that Ida's usccess will be complete. JOHN 'WENDELL HOWARD 'Haltl one, two, Right, dress! Front! At ease! Wendell has spent much of his brain energy this year drilling the stalwart youths of Company A over the Armory floor. Who would guess from this that he is a parso11's son. Rumors are re- peatedly reaching us that Wendell keeps company with a charm- ing young lady in both the lower and upper halls. This is rather a surprise to us but it is only one of many. In later life Wendell intends, so he says, to become a forester or soldier, at either of which we are sure he will be successful. 'VINDEX 'BOARD CAROLYN J. HOWE 'AA sweet, attractive kind of grace. Carolyn believes in packing all her troubles in an old kit bag and smiling. Although very quiet, she is always busy and doing things worth while. She is very much interested in church work and we have heard that she has a kindergarten class We can picture her conducting a kindergarten and we do not doubt out that all of her pupils will love her and bc attracted to her just as we have been. Signum BOARD CHARLES ANTHONY HUGHES p An Originator of fun. Charles is another of the young men who has helped to make the Senior Class the fun-loving one that it is. His impcrsonations of that well known character Charlie Chaplin are quite mar. velous and for that reason are known far and wide. He is also noted a great debatcr and we believe that he would have Q very successful career as a lawyer. He is excellent in working on party committees and his help has been sought very often, VVC all wish you great success, Charles, in whatever you undertake. Cmss TRACK FooTIa,xLL FORUM

E. 'SQ' O f's x'P It by A MP G+ ! HELEN GRAY And her eyes have all the seeming Of an angel that is dreaming. You may often see Helen, seated, quietly gazing into space and you wonder what she is thinking about. She.is full of fun and her sudden giggle may often be heard in the middle of a most solemn class. Then too, she is said to be quite a. shark in- Spalllshi a subject of which she is especially fond. Besides, she 1S a g'ood friend to everyone and a loyal student. ALICE NIARIAN GRINNELL 'fAs musical as bright Ap0ll0's lute. Alice 's versatility is very enviable. Just let us tell you ai :few of her accomplishments: She can sing, play the piano and a guitar, Inake fudge, make speeches, write stories and show a Ire- port card covered with nineties. There are very few ways In which she has failed to become proficient. We know 'that she sets a high standard for everything she undertakes and she'usually ac- complishes her aim. SENIOR RECEPTION COMMITTEE CI,Ass PLAY SONG AND Morro CoMIvII'I'TEE X7INDEX BOARD IRVING HALL A rare villain! 'J Irving is some actor. He can certainly take the part of a villian to perfection. He showed us his ability in that line in the class play. He is also a singer of some note. In the glee club II-vy can be heard above all the other tenors. And talk about Njazz! U Irving is a second Daghistan at that. But he has one fault. He is not a ladyls man. We don 't think that he will always remain that way but will,some time fall for one of the fair sex. SENIOR RECEPTION COMMITTEE CI.Ass PLAY DOROTHA S. I-IALLIDAY And :L merry maid was she. Dot is our sunshine-maker. You never can meet her without feeling that it's a joy to be alive. She has a smile for all and you can tell her laugh, wherever. you hear it. Dorothy likes to dance and can also play the mandolin. If you want to hear her, go into the auditorium sometime, when the String Band is playing. We don't know what i'Dot expects to do next year but we know she will succeed in whatever she does. STRING BAND GIRL 's VINDEX GERALD HARTNETT 'fGreat feelings hath he of his own Which lesser souls may never know. H Qerflld is one of the young Inen who had clear enough sight to realize that 191.9 was the only class to belong to. So he came, after -serving his country, to graduate with us. He is noted for his hemmful 115515 his ff1Shi01121hle dress, and his general air of neat- ness. All this and his readiness for fun has made him one of the most popular young men here in school. Yes we are very glad that he is one of us. 7 '
